ENJOY LIFE.

What a truly beautiful world we
live in Nature gives us grandeur
Of mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in
perfect health but how often do the
majority of people feel like giving it
up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof, that Green's august Florer,
will make them free from disease, as
when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes of
seventy-five per cent, of such mala-
diet as Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness. Ner-
vous Prostration, Dizziness of the
Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and
other distressing symptoms. Three

GREAT Is HUMBuG.
BECKY

Editor Sitter Give me space to say Il
word about business" That's the word
you know. No more .'bIawls" but "bus-
mess" That's good and it suits we wom-
Ell folks, to dot. Now next summer
when our visitors come from Panama,
Cuba, the Bermuda Isles, Australia and
the Congo country what sights are we
going to show them? Nature has done
well by us. Our mountains, rocks can
yons and water falls will not depart from
us. All. sir, nature has been lavish in be-
slowing upon us treasures untold. But
what have we done? What has man done
to beautify one of natures lovely spots:
Let our village tell the story! Let our
streets speak in "business" tones! Huge
piles of wood fairly block main street, old
wagons, carts, sleds, barrels and boxes
will arise to view in due time Broken
down fences we always have with us, and
the mud holes and rocks, old tin pans,
refuse lumber piles and barrel hoops will
soon emerge from beneath the snow and
then will come briars and bushes, O dear,
what loneliness! Then Mr.. Editor when
these aforesaid, visitors arrive will they,
being strangers 10 this fair domain, be
able to take in all this grandeur, taste and
beauty And this is what tempts me to
write. | would have all these things
shown to our foreign friends, And
propose that committee of our "busi-
ness" men be appointed, at once, to take
charge of this matter They could mi
tate the Panama ladies into the mysteries
of picking gum from the wood piles on
the banks of the lever flowing Wantasti-
quet.' What a sight it will be to see this
committee with bevy of fair Mexican
Senoritas clambering the huge slab wood
pile, just below the dugway, in search of
spruce gum-apd then when found they
could sit and chew to the ripping music
of the river and gaze upon old Glebe.
Great is humbug And So. Londonderry
has its full share of his prophets. This
is business" SUKEY.
We welcome "Sukey" to our To-
cal columns. Hope we shall heal
from her again, She touches chord
that reaches our heart. Give it tc
'em. They deserve it. The SIFrEr
is going to uncover these whited sep
ulchres. and it will be glad of "Suk
ey's' help.
